Chanyeol firmly believes that humans’ forelegs are short to allow them to pet dogs, so why do they keep ignoring him? ForewordThe dog park they often walk to has chain link fence around its perimeter and doors that can open wide. Trees take up most of the outer greenspace, but it’s clear in the middle with a small pond birds like to flock around. The park is filled with dogs and their moms and dads and siblings and the smells of tree squirrels, ground squirrels, tiny stinging birds, and dogs who were there earlier.Chanyeol stops suddenly in his tracks, not even responding when his dad bumps against his back end. He closes his mouth to listen and smells the air; he hears something familiar. With a mighty tug, he pulls free of his dad and goes charging across the lawn. Trees, grass, tree squirrels, trash, biped puppies, stinging bird. Hes close; the smell is stronger. And that laugh! He knows that laugh!A dads sitting on a park bench. Hes not wearing the uniform, but he smells right when Chanyeol checks between his legs and—Yes!—this is The Uniformed Man!He barks and throws his forelegs over The Uniformed Man’s lap, tail wagging so hard his rear wiggles. Hello! Hi! Its you! Its me!"Chanyeol!" His leash is grabbed by his dad, and hes tugged away from the out-of-uniform-but-still-Uniformed-Man. "I am so sorry, Baekhyun.""Just can’t go a day without seeing me, Kyungsoo?” The Uniformed Man laughs.“Seeing you six days a week is enough for me. Chanyeol’s the co-dependent one.”“Aw, and I thought he had something special.” The Uniformed Man rubs down Chanyeol’s muzzle and between his eyes with a fingertip.
